Man Convicted Of Domestic Violence Can't Possess A Gun, Supreme Court Rules. By Nicole Flatow "Man Convicted Of Domestic Violence Can’t Possess A Gun, Supreme Court Rules" CREDIT: Shutterstock When it comes to “domestic violence,” even pushing or grabbing can be sufficient to bar federal gun possession, the U.S.
Supreme Court concluded in a unanimous ruling issued Wednesday morning. The ruling could have significant implications in interpreting which state domestic violence laws bar gun possession. Because of this relationship between gun ownership and intimate violence, federal law bars those convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence offense from possessing a gun. The Supreme Court disagreed with Castleman Wednesday, holding that the crime of “intentionally or knowingly” causing bodily injury to the mother of his child was a crime that involved “physical force,” and that Castleman was therefore barred from possessing a gun.

L’agonie d’un condamné à mort. One Sentence That Could Help End The Death Penalty In America. By Tara Culp-Ressler on April 10, 2014 at 9:00 am "One Sentence That Could Help End The Death Penalty In America" Dennis McGuire struggled, choked, and gasped for air before he finally died, as his adult children watched on in horror.
The state of Ohio used a never-before-used mix of drugs to kill him, and he appeared to slowly suffocate to death. Witnesses said the process took about 25 minutes, making it the longest execution since the state reinstituted capital punishment 15 years ago. When Kelsey Kauffman, a retired Indiana resident and progressive activist, saw the headlines about McGuire — whose death sparked widespread outrage about the nature of lethal injections in the United States — she wanted to do something in response.
Her ask? It may seem like a strange way to respond specifically to McGuire’s case, but this one change could be an indirect method of inching the country toward putting an end to executions altogether. Man Allegedly Shoots And Kills 15-Year-Old Girl For Egging A Car. By Rebecca Leber "Man Allegedly Shoots And Kills 15-Year-Old Girl For Egging A Car" Adrian Broadway.
Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead. “We called for help and they killed our son”: Out-of-control police overreach meets extreme secrecy. On January 4 in Boiling Spring Lakes, North Carolina, Mark Wilsey called 911 because his stepson Keith Vidal, 18, was threatening his mother with a small screwdriver.
Vidal, a schizophrenic, had no history of violence, but in this case his family needed help. Two police officers used a taser to subdue Vidal, who weighed 90 pounds. The situation, says Wilsey, was under control. But a third officer, Bryon Vassey, showed up and quickly—within 70 seconds—shot him. “We called for help and they killed our son,” said Wilsey. The killing recalls last month’s killing of Dixon Rodriguez, a mentally ill man whose mother had called 911 in Perth Amboy, New Jersey.

The weirdest Golden Globe choices ever Best Actress in a Drama and Best Supporting Actress, Kate Winslet for “Revolutionary Road” and “The Reader” (2008) Even those stars the Oscars like have been exuberantly blessed by the Globes -- both because of their larger number of categories and their general love for the very famous.
Meryl Streep has eight Golden Globes; Nicole Kidman, three; Tom Hanks, four; Jack Nicholson, six. Never was the Globes’ willingness to indulge stars beyond their wildest dreams more clear than when a peak-of-fame Kate Winslet picked up two acting awards in one night -- beating out, in aggregate, a group of eight actresses that included everyone from Anne Hathaway to Penélope Cruz.
